Friday Travel Photo Contest #9: Do you know this Viking?

Would you be brave enough to tackle this guy? First, you'd have to discover where in Canada he hangs out! If you think you can (a) identify this landmark and (b) correctly guess where in Canada you can find it, post your answers below and you could win a
Canadian Living cookbook. You may post multiple guesses but please do so in separate posts. Kudos to those smart Canucks who correctly identified the location of the Big Nickel in Sudbury in our last
Friday Photo Contest. Check back to that post to see if you're a winner.
So, who's this guy and where doe he reside in Canada? [caption id="attachment_5410" align="aligncenter" width="360" caption="Win a Canadian Living cookbook. Tell us where this big guy lives in Canada"]
